only ships to US though

khtm

khtm, which one did you find... please share....

Thanks

khtm

This guy ships worldwide...total would be ~ $190 US

I'm a bit worried about customs charges though...they always end up being a real kick in the junk.

khtm, before you order... call your Mazda dealer (Canadian) and you can get
a OEM Spoiler for $450 CDN painted/installed. My service part told me they have 3 different models.. I have to go see in person...

hmmmm...perhaps I'll give that a shot. I just assumed the dealership would be WAY overpriced like they usually are.

Shamblerock

SilerBullet and khtm, I would appreciate it if you let me know what you decided on and the associated costs because I'm in the market as well for a rear spoiler.

Keep us posted.

Thanks in advance.

They have a smaller lip spoiler in the vendor forum under RX8Fun. Its modelled after the European model. The neat thing about it is that you do not need to drill holes to mount it. (Great for people who lease) It mounts with both 2 sided tape and these special high powered magnets.Go read about it. Its pretty cool stuff!

Shamblerock

Rotten, I like that spoiler as well. In fact I prefer something discrete like that but he's not taking orders on it anymore. Not until 2005 anyway. Do you have it? Is it easy to appy on straight? Is it rubber or platic or fiberglass?

My RX8

I can get rr spoilers for $350 plus taxes that looks exactly the same as the factory unit...

BlueFrenzy

My RX8, what is the RR spoiler? Is that a brand? Sounds interesting

rotten42

No I don't have it. I ws going to order it before but my wife explained to me that I had just spent 40k on a car and she doesn't have a new kitchen table. If I got the spoiler before the kitchen table I would not have been allowed to sit at the old table anymore! :D
I might order it in the spring time...I aso like a more discrete spoiler.

Genesis

It's ok, better than nothing....Euro spec model here.

rotten42

I like that better.

BlueFrenzy

I don't know about the Euro spoiler. It's not that noticeable ... the first time I saw pics of it, I didn't know what I was supposed to be looking at until I saw the unit detached. Not that I'm proposing a HUGE Lancer like wing in order to be noticed.

Again, better than nothing, right?

I also am not a fan of the euro spoiler, nor the Mazdaspeed spoiler. The best I've seen so far is (shockingly enough), the stock Mazda spoiler.

Shamblerock

Khtm, I hear you. The thing thatbugs me about the Mazda spoiler is it makes the RX-8 look taller and the back end less wide. Also, the spoiler look is very common and the 8 looks a bit the the Mazda 6 . It almost make it look less mean.

OK I'll stop rambling on about this. I'll probably end up with the stock spoiler anyway.....

rotten42

less is more

Here is a nice spoiler...not to big, not to small

khtm

Not bad...it looks kind of unnatural though...a bit out of place, maybe? I dunno...

I guess I just have weird tastes :p

rotten42

I can vouche for that...I've met him and he does have "weird" tastes. :D

...why do you think kids walk on the opposite side of the street from him?! :D

Kart Racer

im not a big fan of that spoiler either, its just too small. I have the OEM one, and if i werent to have it, i would just go spoilerless like shamblerock's VR GT

khtm

so true, so true
